Cholo sent Messi a warm message of gratitude as Lionel Messi stepped away from the Argentina national team. The departure of a player who featured in three of the Albiceleste’s last four World Cup finals gives the tribute particular resonance.
Asked to choose between Diego Maradona and Messi, Cholo declined to compare them. “I’m not going to play the game of choosing one. I was lucky enough to play with Maradona; I wasn’t lucky enough to play with Messi. We Argentinians are grateful to have had two of the greatest in history,” he said.
A few weeks earlier, Diego Pablo Simeone had also called for Lionel Messi to receive the Ballon d’Or, pointing to what he had achieved at the World Cup. The message of thanks reflects a broader appreciation of Messi’s place in Argentine football as he leaves the national team.
